The former soldier in the French army who seized power in his
African homeland. The leader of the Central African Republic who
proclaimed himself emperor. The emperor who ruled as an avaricious
dictator. Jean-Bédel Bokassa’s time in power in the CAR began with
promises of equality and justice. Hailed as a beacon of strength,
he would go on to preside over a regime of eccentricity, excess and
sadistic cruelty. But decades before the surreal coronation, the 17
wives and the vast collection of luxurious possessions, our story
begins in a much humbler setting. In a forested village near the
CAR’s southern border, rebellion is in the air… A Noiser podcast
